Restore your Camera after a faulty WebUI Upgrade

You updated your camera´s web user interface - but now you are unable to log into your camera with your web browser. You still "see" the camera inside your network and might even be able to access the video stream with our smartphone app. But your web browser simply refuses to open the interface. In this case the webUI was damaged during the installation process and all that needs to be done is updating it a second time. The easiest way to do this, is using the INSTAR Camera Tool, go to the Update tab and load the webUI file onto the camera. But what if this update also fails?
